CHRISTIAN MISSIONS.

Conducted by Rev. G. X. Hair. Sec'y, Mankato.
Never in any former period has the
subject of missions, home and foreign,
engaged tho attention of the churches
more than at the present day. The
question Of their success and influence
on national prosperity and the develop
ment of a true civilization, cannot be
ignored. The Methodist Episcopal
church is making an effort to raise this
year for Home and Foreign Missions,
one million dollars, and they will do it.
When the first missionaries visited
Madagascar, notable Frenchman said
"you may as well try to convert cattle
as the Malagosy." That first page of
history of Madagascar's evangelization
was black indeed, but the text was white
with the purity Of pious devotion; then
came bloody page, seconding perse-
cution as cruel as Nero could have
wished; twenty-five years of fire and
slaughter vainly sought to burn out or
blot out the impression of that gospel;
and now comes the golden page: Mad
agascar's Queen keeps fortnight of
jubilee as she opens Christian house
of worship on her court grounds, and
puts on her coronation table side by side
with the laws of the realm, the precious
book of God, declaring that her island
empire acknowledges the sovereignty
of the Lord Jesus Christ. From the
darkness of awful vices and crimes, this
degraded people have come to the light
and liberty of Christian civilization
through a red sea of blood they have
come to the golden glory of Christian
theocracy.
Professor Delitzsch, of Leipzig, islead-
ing movement in nine German Uni
versities, having for its object, mission
work among the Jews. Those who are
engaged in the work intend to establish
a school in Leipzig, in which the mis-
are to be educated, the Pro-
fessor himself to teach them Hebrew.
Already over three hundred students at
the Universities have joined the move
ment. 1t is stated in German news
paper, that in Vienna alone, during 1895,
two hundred and sixty Jews became
Christians, and that never In the history
of Germany were conversions from
Judaism 80 numerous as now.
From the Missionary RepieW we learn
that ''last year 155, 553 members were
added to churches on missionary ground,
which is q, 404 less than accessions to
the churches in all christendom, with
their manifold advantages.
The Sunday School Times says: "John
Wesley's followers have always looked
upon nothing less than the whole world
as their field of labor. Just now. Prof.
W. +. Warren, of Boston University, is

Vincent is addressing, through an inter
